       | When you really get into the unknown, you can get lost without
       | leaving your house, but getting literally lost in the woods is
       | probably a good way to stir up that feeling directly.
       | 
       | The most lost I've felt is when my cultural metaphysics dropped
       | away, and I realized how much I was holding onto a false sense of
       | certainty so I wouldn't have to experience how wild this
       | existence might actually be, or how much my sense of self and
       | place in the universe comes from my culture's current
       | understanding of it.
       | 
       | So to the intrepid travelers, may your journeys be filled with
       | adventures and wonders beyond imagination!
